Introducing the LPD Spearhead Boost Pedal]

Updated May. 22, 2026 | by Brent P. Gladless

The LPD Spearhead isn’t a boost; it’s a weapon forged for anyone who’s tired of polishing a dull tone with cheap tricks. Co?designed with Michael Nielsen of Big Hairy Guitars, this front?end shaper slams together five brutal stages that lock together like a well?tuned assault rifle.

• BOOST cranks up to 20?dB of clean, flat gain—no coloration, just raw power that drives an amp into sweet, unadulterated saturation.
• TONE rolls off the top end from 700?Hz to 11?kHz, taming shrillness while keeping the attack razor?sharp.
• LO?CUT, foot?switchable, slices everything below 65–650?Hz, tightening the low end before it even reaches the preamp.
• PUSHED, a nod to the Echoplex preamp, injects touch?sensitive harmonic richness that swells with every pick attack.
• BASS, an active low?frequency control, delivers +10?dB boost or –3?dB cut at 80?Hz, letting you anchor a thunderous bottom or tighten a lean, articulate groove.

All stages sit behind a soft?touch buffered bypass with last?state memory, so you never lose the vibe when you flip out. The compact 5×3×3?in chassis (1?lb) runs on 9?V/40?mA and lives to be stacked, not to be chosen between.

These things are flying off the shelves, they are currently in pre-order after the first batch sold out.
